Visitors to Wales will not have to pay a tourism tax for "years" as fears were growing about the levy coming in during the cost of living crisis.
Welsh Government is proposing giving councils the powers to add a tax on overnight stays in their part of the country - saying it can ease pressure on tourism communities and help pay for additional services.
It has triggered a backlash from the sector over the potential impact on businesses and jobs with a view it will drive some visitors to rival destinations.
